I love it. So cute.

muddyford · 10/12/2025 16:46

No from me. Why choose such a beautiful name and call the child another name?

Luxio · 10/12/2025 16:47

It's nice but increasingly popular around where I am although obviously that depends on where you are.

BebbanburgIsMine · 10/12/2025 16:51

Aurora is beautiful, I don’t like nicknames or shortening of names so not Rory.

Aurora is just perfect as it is.

Rory isn't great for a girl.
It feels a bit.... sorry for any female Rory's reading this....dated and dowdy.
Aurora is a very pretty name. Rory isn't.
It's like naming a child "Diamond" but calling her "Stone".
Sorry 🙁

Rory is a young female character in Gilmore Girls. She’s extremely clever, kind and beautiful. May have prompted some girls to be named Rory ( not her birth name in the series) It’s still v popular.

Jugendstiel · 10/12/2025 17:04

Cute. Aurora is very pretty and I love Rory as a nn.

I always thought it was a terrible name for a girl when I watched it.

It might be a bit of a tongue twister if she can’t say her r’s!

CraftyPlayer · 10/12/2025 17:07

Too common nowadays. I don’t see the appeal personally.

HugoYorway · 10/12/2025 17:30

No to both. Too many Rs.

Confusednbemused · 10/12/2025 17:37

I like it :)

Happyapplesanspears · 10/12/2025 17:40

Aurora would be so much nicer without the Disney princess connection. Rory for a girl is awful

GooseyGandalf · 10/12/2025 17:44

I love Rory for a boy, and hate it for girls. I’ve no idea why it evokes such a strong reaction in me though.

Aurora is lovely though.

BotterMon · 10/12/2025 17:45

Rory great for a boy and a dog not a girl.

Aurora is very pretty. If you have to have a NN could be Rora.

LeeshaPaper · 10/12/2025 17:46

Rory is a boy's name and not a particularly nice one at that.
Aurora is beautiful

FlorenceAndTheVagine · 10/12/2025 17:48

Why are there so many girls being given male names, and never the other way around?

CurlewKate · 10/12/2025 18:23

Rory’s a boy’s name.

Guess!

MaybeNextYear2026 · 10/12/2025 18:25

Super popular for girls now

Mariammaom · 10/12/2025 18:40

Aurora is a beautiful name! And Rory a cute nickname - I like it.

Mariammaom · 10/12/2025 18:42

CurlewKate · 10/12/2025 18:23

Rory’s a boy’s name.

Rory is a nickname for Aurora, just like Alex is for Alexandra or Charlie for Charlotte. People can use any nickname they like - it’s not ‘reserved’ for one gender!

Crispynoodle · 10/12/2025 18:43

Lovely

Mariammaom · 10/12/2025 18:43

Love Rory from Gilmore Girls!

Viviennemary · 10/12/2025 18:45

Rory is a boys name. Aurora is nice but dont shorten it to Rory.
